Once your palate gets used to TLO buds, you'll be able to tell those grown with good quality water from
those that weren't!
REV'S TIP
I can't say enough good things about rainwater. Like distilled water it is nom-
inal in dissolved solids, and it also seems to contain microlife too; heavenly microlife! If I was using
this water exclusively for TLO container growing I would almost always add about 10 drops per gal-
lon of CaMg+ by General Organics to keep the slow and steady supply of calcium and magnesium
coming to the microlife and the plants.
Freshwater Fish Tanks and TLO Growing
If your fresh water fish tank is all healthy and happy, and you don't add chemicals to remove chlorine or
anything along those lines, your freshwater fish tank water is like a giant organic tea, full of good micro-
life, and you should use this water when brewing your own organic teas. You need to use reverse osmosis
water to fill your tank, or very low TDS water, if you want to use this water very often on your plants. If
you don't, extraneous mineral salts will build up in the rhizosphere, causing problems. I have a 55-gallon
freshwater fish tank full ofguppies and a huge 13-year-old goldfish. Idowater changes of10gallons once
a month using reverse osmosis water. I never add any chemicals to my water and my fish have never been
sick. The living dynamic in the fish tank is on a parallel with your TLO growing containers with plants in
them. The soil mix is the water with the fish being the plants, and they both depend upon high levels of
good microbial life Fresh water fish tanks, as long as they're healthy, are a great source of water!
Basically, if you have a healthy freshwater fish tank, the water in it is mega-full of good microlife! It
can also be added to teas, as a bio-catalyst; I add fishy water to my teas at a rate of 1 cup per gallon of tea,
and I do this about every second or third time I make a tea. Because I use pure water for my fish as well
